Heisig story:

The trick to remembering this character lies in associating the key word with the line from the nursery rhyme about 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie: "Wasn't this a dainty dish to set before the king?" If we think of display in terms of that famous line, and the king with his head thrown back and his mouth wide open as 4 and 20 blackbirds fly in one after the other, we shall have satisfied both the elements and their position.

Koohii stories:

1) [Georgi87] 5-9-2007(157): The mouth of the king is displaying his bling.

2) [sethimayne] 21-10-2007(131): What a pathetic display! The king is sprawled on his throne, head back and mouth wide open, fast asleep. We should never have let him drink so much at that banquet last night.

3) [jezerey] 11-2-2008(57): The mouth of the king displayed what a fool he was.

4) [Twentytw0] 9-7-2008(30): Think of an evil museum that displays the mouths of the previous dead kings. Imagine the tour guide dressed up in sinister clothing saying, "And on display here, we have the mouth of King Henry VIII".

5) [thatkidpercy] 29-11-2007(23): The original court jesters had a terrible job, if the king's mouth yawned during your DISPLAY, it was the end of you.
